Apparently I am going for a scrabble theme...

So you all remember my pillows from this post and the story that goes along with it right?

Well because my husband is obsessed likes Scrabble, we have collected quite a few versions. 

The original,

The Onyx Edition (the one with the lazy susan),

The travel size, 

And the one that looks like a book (remember when they did that to the games?).

No one needs that many Scrabble games. So we gave the original one to our SIL who's got accidentally taken by the people who picked up her donations. Then the board of the book one got ripped in half somehow, so I just decided to see what I could do with all the pieces.

This is what I came up with:

It is on the book shelf in the same living room with the Scrabble pillows, apparently there is a theme to the room now.

Materials:

• Frame (I just had the frame itself, no glass or backing so I used a file folder as the backing, if you have a frame, put the glass aside and use the backing... or glue the tiles on the glass- your choice)
  Fabric
• Scrabble tiles
• Hot glue gun

First, I covered the backing, I used a file folder so I cut it to size and then hot glued it shut. 

Then I cut my fabric to an inch or so bigger than the file folder, rough cut. 

Then I glued the fabric on the front of the file folder (or back of your frame).

Next, I trimmed up the sides and then glued them down to the back all the way around. 

 Next came gluing it into the frame, I put glue along the inside edge and laid it down. 

 

Now comes the fun part, playing around with the letters and wording. 

Once I found something I liked, I glued it down. 

I thought mine needed a little extra something so I added a few rosettes in fabric that matched the pillows to the corner. 

Done! I didn't have the prop on the back so I just displayed it on a plate holder ( I think that is what that thing is called). 

I still have more parts of that game to work with! Look forward to sharing more ideas!!!
